The problem with X, really, is that it's intended as a general-purpose GUI. I<br>presume that MythTV uses it because it's convenient and it provides what's<br>needed -- but it also provides a lot that's NOT needed for DVR purposes, and
<br>that creates overhead.</blockquote><div><br>It's worth pointing out that while a lot of those features aren't needed, they can still be useful. For example, because Myth uses X I can use VNC to control my Myth system from another machine. This is particularly useful if I want to mess about with settings, edit meta data for videos or music, and even just for using MythMusic.
